Breakout

At first glance, hearing that Zynga and Atari are teaming up doesn’t invite the most confidence. Both video game companies are pioneers in their respective fields and rode high on their successes. And like Atari, Zynga is going through its ups and downs.

Atari with Curious Brain is developing Super Bunny Breakout for iOS devices. It’s an update to the classic Breakout, the simple game where players move a platform to bounce a ball and break bricks. To this formula, Atari and Curious Brain add a story, characters and a few twists to the gameplay. The result is a Zynga-published title that’s addicting and has more depth.
